Answer 1

There is this way. But this will go through each row and select the rows that contains E

var linesContainsE = File.ReadAllLines(filename)
    .Where(line => line.Contains("E"))
    .ToList();

(Using namespace System.Linq and System.IO)

More info about the File.ReadAllLines from msdn : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.readalllines.aspx
